Shadow Shift

Shadow Shift (SW): occurs when the Therianthrope sees the animal form around his/herself as a transparent apparition or when the appearance seems to change. This is an illusionary change that mostly happens in low, dim lighting. This shift is not necessarily a supernatural phenomenon, and it could be explained rationally, such as due to eye fatigue. The person's attitude, posturing, making animal sounds, can give off the image of a physical change, but this is not a physical shift.[1][2][3]

Shadow shifts were first discussed on AHWW in 1999. This is a rare shift that is not mentioned in the community very often.[4]
